[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I could not agree more with PP. What else ahould happen to the program for families just say: I am done! Why are we even fighting for this? 
I know the cultural exchange and other positives of the program are great... but does it really come first to our primary challenge of getting reliable, consistente care for our children? The way the program is right now is just challenging, full of drama and every day a new event.
We habe decided, we are done... we want to be in control, and not in thr passenger’s seat..[/quote]

Cultural exchange is dead. If you look in the rematch groups, au pairs are celebrating because obviously the host families have been cheap all along if some have started offering $2k signing bonuses, brand new car to drive, and $400-500/week.

If the program actually resumes next year, au pairs will be holding out for those families (who will be dumping their interim mediocre au pairs anyway for a fresh start), but it will ruin au pairs' expectations and keep fueling the offensive being treated like "slaves" accusations.[/quote]
